It's Casual Friday at the Majority Report On today's program: JD Vance holds a news conference in Minneapolis where he is asked about a leaked DHS memo instructing ICE and CBP agents that an "administrative warrant" is sufficient for forcibly entering people's homes.

Here's a selection of stories from the past week: --America has officially withdrawn itself from the World Health Organization. --The Department of Homeland Security joined the Department of Justice in arresting 3 individuals in connection with the planned riot at a church in St. Paul, Minnesota, on Sunday. --A Minnesota federal magistrate judge has refused to sign a criminal complaint connected to former CNN host Don Lemon for his role in the church riot incident in St. Paul. --There's a disturbing report coming out of Minnesota that dogs belonging to an immigration officer are being targeted. --In a chilling series of social media posts on Saturday evening, Minnesota state senator and former Minneapolis mayoral candidate Omar Fateh pledged to make the Cedar Riverside neighborhood a "no-go zone" for "white supremacists." --A Biden appointed judge issued a whack ruling last week, essentially hamstringing how federal law enforcement deals with peaceful protesters in Minnesota. --Minnesota parents Destiny and Shawn Jackson claimed that their truck was lifted off the ground by a teargas canister as they were peacefully driving home with six kids from a basketball game. The problem? The couple was allegedly filmed participating in the mob that was harassing federal officers. --Federal officials on Monday announced the seizure of more than $14,000 in undeclared cash from a pair of Somali-born American citizens heading out of Minneapolis St. Paul International Airport on Sunday.

Local and state law enforcement officials say there've been arrests this today amid a protest outside the Whipple federal building near the Twin Cities airport.That's in addition to about a hundred clergy members arrested today during a protest at the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport. A spokesperson for the airport says they worked with protest organizers to accommodate their right to freedom of expression. But he said airport police made arrests when the protest went beyond the agreed-upon terms.

Glenn Beck- Trump Must Use the Insurrection Act, $5B Somali Daycare, Drugs and Cartels, Mr. Reagan- Black Fatigue.     Glenn Beck- Insurrection Act? THIS changed Glenn's mind about Trump using it in Minnesota   FBI & ICE STORM Minneapolis — Somali DAYCARE Director & $5B Fraud EXPOSED. FBI and ICE agents stormed a daycare operation in Minneapolis–St. Paul, exposing a massive Minnesota welfare fraud scheme. Federal investigators allege the Somali-run daycare listed hundreds of children who never existed, triggering billions in taxpayer payouts through layered nonprofit networks. This video breaks down how the ghost daycare system worked, how federal agents tracked suspicious enrollment data, and why the case escalated into a full FBI, ICE, and DEA federal operation. Authorities are now expanding investigations into linked financial networks, fentanyl trafficking routes, and broader fraud across Minnesota.   Mr Reagan What is "Black Fatigue"? What does "black fatigue" really mean? Today we analyze the shift from the original 2020 definition to the modern 2025 usage on X. We discuss the impact of fatherlessness on discipline and why some cultural practices persist across the globe despite the Enlightenment. We want to hear from you in the comments. Is this a real cultural phenomenon or something else?   Insurrection Act? THIS changed Glenn's mind about Trump using it in Minnesota Should President Trump use the Insurrection Act in Minnesota amid anti-ICE protests and riots?

What a weekend!!! Had a very successful 9-Pin Tap Tourney on Saturday to raise money for the Rock Foundation, and then I sat around and did absolutely nothing yesterday, with the exception of watching football. In the news this morning, the latest on what's happening in Minneapolis/St. Paul, a deadly train derailment in Spain, an update on Kiefer Sutherland's arrest from last week, the Poison 40th Anniversary tour gets nixed, and a recall on chocolate gets expanded. Speaking of football, we recapped all this weekend's NFL Divisional round games and looked ahead to next Sunday's AFC & NFC Championship games. The Bucks play at noon today as part of the NBA's MLK Day schedule, the Badgers got a nice win against Rutgers over the weekend, and the college football National Championship is tonight. We talked about what's on TV today/tonight and discussed the unusual injury Emilia Clarke suffered while filming her new show. Great story about a kid in the UK who helped save his mother's life after she passed out while driving. A man is going viral for listing all the chores he had to do when he was a kid, so we tried to think back to our childhoods and remember all the stuff we were responsible for. Elsewhere in sports, John Harbaugh officially gets hired by the NY Giants, Matt LaFleur & the Packers have reached an agreement to extend his contract, Kevin Durant passes Dirk Nowitski on the NBA's all-time scoring list, and Air Force suspended their basketball coach. Did you know………the zoo animal responsible for the most injuries to zookeepers? Did you know……..how many jobs were created by a specific taco? Did you know……….how many Americans are using A.I.? And in today's edition of "Bad News with Happy Music", we had stories about a car thief who found something criminal in a vehicle he stole, a #FloridaMan who got busted for repeatedly throwing roofing nails on the road, a company is in hot water for basically selling cake batter disguised as protein powder, a delivery robot that got destroyed when it got stuck on some train tracks, a kid who got arrested for trying to stay in a Walmart for 24 hours, and a dude who got busted for doing donuts in a church parking lot on a first date.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Zak Paine, Adel Nero, and Frankie Val open Episode 116 with casual banter before turning to a wide-ranging and intense discussion on accountability, power, and corruption, beginning with the Clintons' refusal to comply with congressional subpoenas and what that means for the legitimacy of oversight itself. The conversation expands into the massive fraud unfolding in Minnesota, including Somali-linked schemes, misuse of public funds, civil asset forfeiture, and ICE activity at the Minneapolis–St. Paul airport, tying local corruption to national consequences. From there, the hosts examine systemic rot within government institutions, questioning two-tier justice, political protection, and the failure to prosecute obvious criminal behavior. The episode also dives into the Federal Reserve, fiat currency, debt, silver market manipulation, and the broader implications of financial systems built on fraud, arguing that exposure without enforcement risks total public disillusionment. Throughout the discussion, the hosts emphasize that real reform requires consequences, not rhetoric, and warn that without decisive action, trust in institutions will continue to collapse.

The party of peace and kindness and morality is now calling for more protests against ICE, as Tim Walz drops a video encouraging Minnesotans to help shoot video of their encounters with law enforcement. (They're gathering videos for the midterms and to create a J6-style narrative.) Nick Shirley speaks with a former airport narcotics officer who personally witnessed tens - if not hundreds - of millions of dollars in cash go through Minneapolis St. Paul International. Where was it going? 

In this episode, we sit down with House Majority Whip Tom Emmer, who sheds light on the alarming federal fraud case unfolding in Minnesota, which may be one of the largest in U.S. history. Emmer discusses the implications of systemic fraud and the alleged inaction of Democratic leaders, including Governor Tim Walz, who he claims ignored whistleblower reports and retaliated against those who spoke out.We delve into the staggering estimates of fraud, with figures reaching as high as $9 billion, and the troubling connections to the Somali community. Emmer emphasizes that calling out crime is not racist, as he addresses the significant number of convictions related to fraud cases within this community. He also highlights the ongoing issues with Medicaid and housing fraud perpetrated under the current administration.The conversation takes a serious turn as we explore the implications of cash couriers operating out of Minneapolis-St. Paul Airport, moving large sums of money overseas, potentially linked to Al Shabaab. Emmer calls for accountability and thorough investigations into these financial transactions, urging that those who exploit the system should face severe consequences, including deportation.Finally, we touch on the recent decision to end temporary protected status for Somali immigrants, with Emmer advocating for stricter immigration policies to deter fraud and protect American citizens. This episode is a powerful reminder of the challenges facing Minnesota and the urgent need for reform.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

A scandal so massive it could shatter the political status quo is finally coming into focus—and the numbers are staggering. Federal investigators are uncovering hundreds of millions of dollars in cash funneled out of the U.S. through Minneapolis–St. Paul Airport alone, with tens of billions more nationwide potentially tied to fraud, remittances, and illegal networks. Why did it stop under one administration—and restart under another? Who knew? Who looked the other way? And why are arrests suddenly happening now? This episode connects the dots between cash couriers, welfare fraud, illegal immigration, and political protection. ⚠️

Unleashed! The Political News Hour with Bruce Robertson – How Somalian immigrants are taking over Minnesota, Oklahoma City, and other cities, embezzling tens of millions of dollars from taxpayers. How Somalians are smuggling suitcases filled with millions of dollars in cash and passports through Minneapolis St. Paul Airport, right under the noses of the TSA...

Within a single generation, regions that had been central to early Christian Jerusalem, Syria, Egypt, and the cultural centers of the Byzantine world—were destroyed by a rapidly growing Islamic empire. The scale and speed of this transformation reshaped the landscape of the Middle East and altered the trajectory of Christian history, forever.
The ideology driving early Islamic conquests created long-term patterns that continue to influence global conflict, religious freedom, population pressures, and geopolitical tensions today. The expansion of Islamic political power has repeatedly degraded societies, challenged Christian communities, and produced cultures incompatible with today's world. By connecting the past to the present, this analysis helps illuminate why the events of the 7th century continue to haunt governments, politics, and the spiritual arena defining our time.

At the end of a cabinet meeting this week, President Trump unleashed controversial comments about Minnesota's Somali community. The president said he “[didn't] want them in our country” and referred to Minnesota's Somali-American congresswoman Ilhan Omar as “garbage”. His diatribe came as reports surfaced of ICE raids in the Minneapolis/St. Paul region targeting Somalis in the area. The Department of Homeland Security said that there would be increased focus on immigrant communities in the wake of the November 26th shooting of two National Guard members in Washington, D.C., which had no connection to Somali-Americans. Is the administration clouding legitimate questions about immigrant vetting with its actions?Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth continued to deny reports he ordered an illegal strike on a boat suspected of trafficking drugs in the Caribbean. Congressional Armed Services Committees have opened investigations into the attack. What could accountability look like legally and politically?A new feature on X reveals where accounts on the app originated from . A number of popular accounts posting about American politics were exposed as foreign users. Is there any way to push back on the influence of foreign actors on social media?

John Casmon interviews James Faillettaz, a Minneapolis-based investor who scaled from five units in a spreadsheet to restructuring an entire real estate company after an ambitious early strategy nearly collapsed. James shares how he over-hired, over-built, and over-extended while trying to operate like a Silicon Valley startup—then completely rebuilt his structure with the help of mentors and mastermind groups. He walks through how he created new momentum by taking over distressed properties through master lease with purchase option agreements, ultimately acquiring 101 units with zero money down. James also breaks down the value he brings to sellers, how he structures creative deals, and the lessons he learned from reinventing his model the hard way.

Good morning, afternoon, and evening, fellow real estate gladiators! Ever wondered if those sweet Airbnb profits are just a myth, or if you can actually turn a rental into a cash-flowing beast? Well, get ready, because Scott is joined by the Twin Cities' own rockstar investor, Mike Swenson! Mike's not just an amazing investor, he's a realtor-broker, a multifamily maven, and he's mastered the art of short-term rental (STR) arbitrage. We're diving deep into his journey from a foreclosed townhouse to building a robust real estate empire, including some juicy stories from the front lines of STR management. If you're looking to boost your cash flow, scale your portfolio, or just avoid cleaning up after a wild party, this episode is your golden ticket!In this episode, you'll learn:Arbitrage & Strategic Market Shift: Discover Mike's strategic pivot from Minneapolis/St. Paul's complex regulations and tenant-friendly policies to the growth potential of Southern Minnesota (hello, Mayo Clinic!). Learn how STR arbitrage became his "air game" – a brilliant way to gain experience and quick cash flow without the huge capital commitment of "slow-flip" apartment buildings.Nailing STR Profitability: The 2X Rule & Smart Due Diligence: Forget the 1% rule for traditional rentals; Mike shares how he aims for 2X the conventional rent for his short-term rentals. Get his insider tips on using tools like AirDNA for market analysis, spotting "notch above" properties (think updated kitchens & baths!), and why consistent year-round demand (near airports, attractions like the Mall of America, and business hubs) trumps seasonal "cabin country" for stable income.Landlord Hacks & Ironclad Insurance: Mike reveals his secret sauce for convincing landlords to embrace STR arbitrage – frame it as a "corporate rental" and highlight the benefits of consistent property oversight, proactive maintenance, and reliable rent. Plus, understand the crucial role of specialized landlord insurance and the necessity of your own STR policy to protect against those inevitable "hiccups" (like, say, a drug lab or a wild party!).The Unfiltered Truth of STR Operations: Cleaners, Guests & The Occasional Chaos: Prepare for the unfiltered truth about STR management! Mike breaks down the biggest operational challenges: finding and managing reliable cleaning crews (a major expense!), handling demanding guests (some expect the Four Seasons, bless their hearts!), and the constant battle against wear and tear (RIP that toilet paper holder!). Learn why banning one-night and same-day local bookings became his hard-earned golden rule to dodge party animals and less-than-desirable tenants.Scaling Smart: From Side Hustle to Empire & Your Next Steps: Mike reflects on his journey, explaining why arbitrage was his training ground and how he eyes future growth by owning STR properties for long-term appreciation or scaling into hospitality ventures. He offers crucial advice: truly understand your numbers (margins can shrink!), don't scale too fast, and always include lease clauses to protect yourself from changing STR regulations. Remember, it's not truly passive until you build the right leverage!So there you have it, folks! Mike Swenson's deep dive into the dynamic world of short-term rentals and multifamily investing proves that with strategy, resilience, and a good sense of humor, you can navigate the ups and downs of real estate. From dodging party planners to mastering landlord relations, his insights are pure gold. Ready to grab some of that cash flow for yourself and maybe even build an apartment empire? Connect with Mike and let his journey inspire your own. Go out, take some action, and let's turn those properties into cash cows (preferably without the weed smokers!).

In this powerful episode of Fund the People's Defend Nonprofits, Defend Democracy series, Rusty sits down with Tonya Allen, President of the McKnight Foundation, to explore how philanthropy can respond to the Trump Administration's War on Charity, and serve as an active force for transformation. Tonya shares her roots in Detroit activism, lessons from community leaders who shaped her understanding of philanthropy as “an active verb,” and her belief that funders must embrace—not shy away from—power to change systems. She urges foundations to reject fear and isolation in the face of political attacks, reminding listeners that “silence isolates, and solidarity shields.”Tonya and Rusty also discuss how McKnight has transformed under her leadership—expanding its grantmaking to historic levels, adopting bold investment and climate commitments, and launching the $5 billion GroundBreak Coalition to build wealth for communities of color in the Twin Cities. She offers candid insights on trust-based philanthropy, supporting nonprofit workers, and how the Unite in Advance initiative is helping the social sector stand strong against coordinated threats.

Beyond this increase in grantmaking, Tonya has worked to ensure that McKnight uses every tool in its toolbox as a philanthropic organization. In her first year at McKnight, Tonya championed using the Foundation's investments to advance net zero goals, and elevated McKnight's voice and leadership to rebuild Twin Cities neighborhoods and small businesses impacted by Covid-19 and the 2020 civil unrest. In 2022, Tonya helped launch the GroundBreak Coalition, an ambitious, multi-sector effort to close wealth gaps in Minneapolis-St. Paul.

Jimmy Morrison co-wrote and directed the award-winning documentary The Housing Bubble with NY Times bestselling author Tom Woods. The film still holds the attendance record at the Anthem Film Festival after over 300 people spilled into the hallway at the premiere. Jimmy drove over 35,000 miles shooting interviews with people that predicted the crash like Ron Paul, Jim Rogers, Marc Faber, Peter Schiff, Doug Casey, Jim Grant, and David Stockman.All told, Morrison has three documentaries on our spiralling debt crisis which keeps getting monumentally bigger: The Housing Bubble (2019); The Fall of 2008 (2025) and The Bigger Bubble (2026). "Some call it the Everything Bubble. Each [financial] buble keeps getting bigger," Morrison tells DIG LIFE DEEP! host JOHN AIDAN BYRNE, in this interview. We trace the surge in global financial and US debt encompassing mind-bending US student debt, credit card debt, unfunded liabilities and more. Global debt is thought to be hovering around $300 trillion or even much more. How did it come to this? We explore this horrendous debt accumulation and the rise of central banking with filmmaker MORRISON. Morrison's work on Dennis Quaid's Grid Down won a Storyteller Award at DOC LA. Although he was responsible for the motion graphics, his primary role was as a script doctor. Jimmy produced and ran a camera for the mockumentary Rocksteppy, starring Jake Dilley and McManus Woodend, best known for his recurring role as the GEICO caveman. The film features Jeff Dowd: the Coen Brothers original inspiration for “The Dude,” as well as cameos from Oscar-winning directors David Lynch and Peter Farrelly. David Lynch had picked Jimmy and Jake's music video Aperture for a grant. It also screened at the Minneapolis St. Paul Film Festival. His next film will tell the story of Luka Garza's journey to the NBA.Jimmy worked closely with Gary Johnson from 2010-2011 on his Republican Presidential campaign.Website: letusdisagree.com
